The adapter I used is our Leica S2-Mamiya Mount lens adapter. It works will all Mamiya 645 manual focus lenses. Along with the Schneider, we like to use the Mamiya 80mm f/1.9 as well.

Thanks. This is not the Leica M645 Adapter right?

The Leica S2 combined with the new Schneider 120mm Apo Macro Tilt/Shift lens is a formidable combo.

Hi Josh,

Great stuff. It is always fun to take a look “behind the scenes”. 🙂

Could you please let me know which Adapter you have used for the Schneider 120mm Apo Marco Tilt/Shift lens / which mount…[Read more]

Pete,
David had advised all of us to get his system of graduated filters before we left on the trip. i ignored him, as I recalled how bad the old resin filters I had when I had a 6×7. I figured I would just do HDR post processing, or exposure blending.

But in the first five minutes of photographing with David, he pulls out his GLASS…[Read more]

You will not be able to use your existing Cokin holder, though. The glass filters are 4mm thick vs. 2mm thick for the resin ones. Schneider modifies the Lee holder with two 4mm slots, which have individual thumb screws for locking the filters in place. The glass filters are heavier and could slide through if tension…

I've used the Kaesmann Circular Polarizer MRC 82mm back in my Canon days with the UW lenses. That works fine for me as well. I have not used them on the S2. I was a little bit unsure about their effect. At all I am not a big fan of filters. 😉
What I have used on the S2 are Cokin Filters. But they attract…

What a swaggerer! 😉

But I would say the swaggerer is representing 2% of all S2s in America. 😎

These are really powerful images. I especially like the first one. The symmetry is just perfect and really works here, with the arch framing the cross.

Thanks. The first one is actually a stacked image I have made with Helicon Focus. First time I used it, as the results PS5 are delivering with blending the…[Read more]

Nice shot.I know you will enjoy it..Dale's gives GREAT service.

Really like the first one. With the roof of the barn complementing the foliage colors.

David, what is your experience in loosing IQ when using a Circular Polarizer? Which one do you use? Is there any, if at all, which is delivering the best results?

Thanks,
Pete

P.S. Also like the Pano.

Here's another one from Moss Glenn Falls. It's a four-shot pano stitch with the 35mm. Image size is about 82MP (12,000 x 6,000 px).

Great photos Jack and David. I have never learned so much while having so much fun. Thanks for showing me the ropes…Larry

I recently set up my S2 to work with an ipad-1 using a Connect X2 Eye-fi card and the small battery powered router discussed in the forum. I have used both the Eye-Fi softwarte and Shuttersnitch and I prefer Shuttersnitch. Transfer times are in the 12 to 20 second range. Image quality on ipad permits zoomong to check focus.

The above shot will be next redone as a triptych.

How well does an Eye-fi work in an S2? Getting a radio link from it to anything else would seem to be a challenge.

Perhaps mount the S2 in a bracket and the “Access Point” radio the Eye-fi talks to on top where a flash might be? That might allow you to hold the Access Point's antenna at a particular angle to the Eye-fi so as to avoid all…[Read more]

Here are a few more from Hawaii. BTW, I converted these to sRGB. Is that necessary considering that most people that view these images have a calibrated monitor? Comments welcomed – both positive and negative. Thanks

Stuart's suggested approach makes sense. I also print on the 9900 I haven't had any problems. Albeit, I'm printing mostly out of LR now.

If it is not too complex, I would try regenerating the S2 TIFF and processing it again. I use a 9900 for work, and have not really had this problem. There are so many dialog boxes, settings and things to keep straight, however, that it is likely something is getting left out or set wrong. If that is the case, it might be easier to just start from…[Read more]
